In one extreme case, a hacked mobile phone was tricked into playing 'country music' for five hours, after which time its battery ran out.

That is scary, I am not sure I would survive that long listening to country music, though I could just chuck it into a bowl of water.

Just wanted to chime in and say, have experienced this, high pitched, whining sounds. They debilitate you and make you panick. Serious, probably military grade stuff.
